The PA-X Database Has Already Generated a Huge Amount of Interest. Below Are Some Notable Endorsements. “The Peace Agreements

The PA-X database has already generated a huge amount of interest. Below are some notable endorsements. “The peace agreements database is a noteworthy accomplishment, with remarkable breadth. It will serve as an invaluable resource for scholars, groups impacted by violent conflict seeking a greater voice in peace processes, and individuals charged with mediating disputes. The knowledge the database provides may foster political settlements that are more inclusive and more sustainable.” US Ambassador (former) Carey Cavanaugh (involved in peace efforts involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, Moldova, Tajikistan, and Turkey. Established the American Embassy to the new Republic of Georgia 1992, later becoming US Special Negotiator for Eurasian Conflicts and Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group process for Nagorno-Karabakh) “PA-X Peace Agreement Database provides an invaluable resource, which we already have been able to use. International IDEA has collaborated with the Political Settlements Research Programme, University of Edinburgh, to convene the ‘Edinburgh Dialogues on Post-Conflict Constitution- building’. PA-X data has been very useful in informing these high level policy discussions. Data from PA-X and IDEA has enabled an important new report on ‘Sequencing of Peace Agreements and Constitutions’, which is widely used by actors in peace processes and has received high level policy attention at the United Nations. Furthermore, the Constitution Building Programme of International IDEA is using PA-X data in developing a database of constitution-building processes in fragile and conflict-affected settings. Data such as this, and the analysis that results, is vital to an urgent need to transform peace and democracy building practices, which too often appear in regression.” Yves Leterme, Secretary-General, International IDEA, former Prime Minister Belgium, https://www.idea.int “This database will be an important resource, not just for high-level mediators and parties to conflicts, but also to the wider range of civic participants who seek to influence talks processes and press for greater inclusion. Having access to such a breadth of data on peace processes will mean that practitioners will have a firmer foundation for the choices they make.” Jonathan Cohen, Executive Director, Conciliation Resources, http://www.c-r.org .
